Nightmare Living (27 images)

Anyone who lives in Los Angeles has read the cynical noir mystery novels of Raymond Chandler – "The Big Sleep" and all the rest. Chandler made the endless sunshine here dark and nasty, and this is Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles, the nightmare Spanish Revival apartment buildings from the thirties, where all those desperate characters lived out their desperate lives. Nothing much has changed. ~ Wednesday, July 25, 2018
